Hi,<br />
<br />
Just for info. my 5 year old - based in the U.K. - is also on Deflazacort; the manufacturer is Sanofi-Aventis, and the tablets are 6mg size (trade name Calcort).<br />
<br />
I'm not sure where Shire source theirs from or even whether they manufacture it themselves. However if Shire can't supply you might try Sanofi-Aventis as it's one of the big European pharmaceutical companies - so I guess you should be able to find a supplier who can obtain it from them if necessary ?
